WELCOME/OPENING SPEECH- 1ST YANDI YOUTH CONFERENCE – ONLINE CONFERENCE – DECEMBER 3 - 4, 2015


Dear Youths Delegates (In Nigeria and around the world)

Let me thank you for the great enthusiasm you have shown in the run up to this 1st YANDI Youth Conference (YYC 2015)
Over 3000 youths have shown interest from around the world to participate in the YYC2015. This is the reason I had to change the strategy from having only 400 youth delegates come to Osogbo for 3days to the new strategy of 2 days online conference ( Dec 3 & 4) and a Grand Finale at Trinity House, Osogbo, Osun State on December 5, 2015.
The new strategy will enable all youth around the world contribute to the discussions. This makes the YANDI Youth Conference what I believe is the first online youth conference for National Development in Africa.
Delegates (Online and Physical) at the YYC 2015 will primarily discuss and proffer solutions to issues of National development especially in line with the VISION 2025 Nigerian Dream. 
Delegates from other countries particularly in Africa will find the proposed solutions reproducible in their countries also. Western youth delegates will bring useful insights to solutions being sought for Nigeria and Africa in general.
The Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are put into consideration when discussing and proffering solutions to topics during the conference.
Our goal is to come up with a communiqué listing our proposed solution to the Nigerian and African developmental challenges. These solutions will be presented to all State Governments and the Federal Government in Nigeria for implementation. Delegates from other African countries can also take the solutions back home for implementation

Certificate of participation will be given to online participants who come up with viable solutions to the problems for which solutions are being sort. 

All discussion topics will be available on all the social media platforms we have opened up.

Email: yycnigeria@gmail.com - The subject of your email should be the topic of discuss.
Twitter: @yycnigeria – Hash tag to be used after writing your solution is #yyc2015

I hope to meet many of you in Osogbo during the grand Finale on Saturday, December 5, 2015.

 I wish you all a wonderful conference.

Youth Faithfully,
